Happy Birthday!

WANT!

Is this the dock that Drew (Moon Audio) was recommending at RMAF, or was that the Denon dock? I need another digital dock for my main rig, since I don't think my DLO Homedock HD is an upgrade over line-out. I was looking at the Cambridge on Amazon the other day, and will take this into consideration. I've been happy with the Nuforce iDo iPod digital dock in my bedroom rig, with the coax S/PDIF > nice DAC sounding best. But the RCA output is not far behind, although the headphone out is more on the level of the $130 uDAC-2 headphone out (bass response could be tighter; and extension, micro-detail, and ambience are not as good via headphone out). I've been using iDo daily in my bedroom rig to feed my DACmini lossless music from a 16Gb Nano. I thought I'd just buy another, but I like to try new stuff too. The best part of the iDo is you can connect the iPad or iPod via normal sync cable and easily hold it to watch a movie or control the music. But you can also use the Apple remote to skip songs or adjust the volume if you are sitting across the room from the docked iDevice. I also like that it's powerful enough to charge the iPad. What I dislike is that iDo doesn't offer a video output, while both my DLO Homedock HD and older Homedock Deluxe have video output. And my Homedock HD has a USB port to connect to a PC to sync, while iDo doesn't have that.

I should read the whole thread before posting, sorry...

I don't see much of a point in trying to show how bad it is when you could improve upon the design and show how good it could be instead (like the ESX).

Happy Birthday!

You have some nice rigs there.

I suppose I would like to hear them in a proper room with the right gear, but I still wouldn't spend that much money on them ($25K). Assuming the speakers are actually quite good, then the room/gear setup at RMAF was not a good match at all (not to my ears, Barleyguy, or my son). I'm not sure I would want a speaker to be "that" picky about the room though. I heard some $8K medium-tower speakers at RMAF that were outstanding sounding at any price (I'd have to look up the name latter, but they were built in Memphis and had that in their name).

I listened to those at RMAF and was disappointed with them, thinking that the Harbeth at a fraction of the cost were clearly better. I thought the Magico had a very V shaped frequency response and the highs were a bit harsh sounding.

Happy Birthday!

That was cool, thanks!

Happy Birthday!

Definitely get the SR-009 - I don't regret the purchase at all (PWD > KGSS > SR-009 for the MFW). Even with an eXStatA or HEV70 they sound pretty good, but they are out of this world with better quality gear. Did you have a chance to compare to an SR-007 at the same meet?

Sounds like a happy ending, for now. Hopefully nobody is gunning for you (no pun intended).

I wonder if that's a similar issue to the one where I can't use my SRD-7 Mk2 with a T-amp (common ground?), but the SRD-7 Pro works fine. Anyway, hope you get the amping all worked out. Glad I could turn you onto the O2 Mk1 after hearing mine at RMAF, but sorry the guy sold you a worn out pair without full disclosure.

I'm pretty sure my DLO Homedock HD works with my iPhone 4S, at least as an audio dock only, because I was using it today for the line out (not hooked to a TV but using an amp). It does give the warning, "not designed for this device", but it worked. It also worked today as an audio dock with my iPad2. I haven't tried it with iPhone 4S using an HDMI TV yet, but video worked with a previous iPhone. NOTE - If not hooked to a TV to use it's on screen interface via remote, you have to hit the the top left button of the remote to let you control the iPhone on the actual phone screen.

Happy Birthday!

Very cool, glad to hear the two amps are pretty close and a cut above.

Congrats!

They wasted all those words on the Focal headphone and didn't even listen to it?

Well, you should just go postal with an AK47; but since that won't help you through this I would just complain to the dean that you weren't given the full 2.5 hours for the test, and that their requirements for calculators should be clearly posted in the future.

Sean and Danny are friendly guys. I had to recently contact each of them looking for grills for my AV123 X-Statik, since without them the WAF is poor. Neither had the grills, but Sean suggested someone who might be able to make some.
